Four tests, one with steer calves and three with heifers, were conducted
to study the ratio of roughage to concentrate in beef cattle
fattening rations. Beef cattle are naturally large consumers of roughage
and serve ...

Lamb-fattening rations varying in proportions of roughages to concentrate
have been studied in this project several years. In recent years
much interest has been shown by commercial lamb feeders in completely
pelleted ...

Question has been raised concerning the vitamin A potency of stored
yellow corn. Samples of 1954 corn and 1948-49 stored corn were
analyzed for provitamin A content by a separation and chemical determination
of the ...

In a previous test, it was found that phosphoric acid could be used
as a source of phosphorus for beef heifers on dry bluestem pasture. A phosphorus balance study with lambs also indicated efficient utilization
of ...

This study was to determine the response of young guinea pigs to
stilbestrol added to the basic ration of ground oats, tankage, bonemeal,

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually declines after midsummer.
This study is concerned with the effect of supplementing the
grass after mid-summer with protein to determine if it will profitably
increase steer ...

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually declines rapidly after mid-summer. This test is an attempt to find ways to economically increase the rate of gain after mid-summer with small quantities of concentrate feed.

The rumen, or paunch, of cattle and sheep normally contains innumerable
microorganisms. It has long been recognized that these microscopic

Stilbestrol, a synthetic compound which has a hormonelike effect
when taken into the body, has been recognized as a growth-stimulating
factor in beef cattle fattening rations. Most of the market cattle in
Kansas are ...

Twenty-seven Hereford steer calves were divided as equally as possible
into three lots of 9 animals each. One lot received stilbestrol at
the rate of 6 milligrams per head daily for the first 56 days. The rate
was ...

The addition of stilbestrol to a high-energy fattening ration has consistently
demonstrated its ability to increase rate of gain with older or
heavier feeder cattle. At the time this test was initiated, there was ...

A new chemical made from beef tallow, RQ-20, recently has come
on the market and has been claimed to be beneficial for young pigs
being fed for market. Its benefit arises from its anti-scouring action
and it is said to ...
